My father is over 70 years old (income earning) and I live with him. He used to file independently. I want to claim the Caregiver tax credit this year.
I followed the youtube video:
I filled in info for my father in Dependent ID, sin#, etc. Then I go to the tab Review, it warns me errors that i have to continue fill up all situation of my dad. As if I have to file all financial info for him, and as if he won't file independently. Is that correct? But it does not sounds right. How can i add him as my dependent while he can file his own file^
Q2) By claiming him as my dependent, would it affects his OAS or GIS receipt?
